Alexander Luttrell (20 October 1663 – 22 September 1711) was an English army officer and politician.[1]

Dunster Castle – seat of the Luttrell family

He was the third son of Francis Luttrell (1628–1666) of Dunster Castle.[1] His mother Lucy was a daughter of Thomas Symonds of Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire.[1] Colonel Francis Luttrell (1659–1690) was his older brother.[1] He inherited the heavily indebted Dunster Castle after the death of both his elder brothers and then his brother Francis's son in 1703.

He sat in the House of Commons of England from 1690 to 1707 as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Minehead, and then held the seat for a further year in the House of Commons of Great Britain.[2]

He married, in 1702, Dorothy, the daughter of Edward Yard of Churston Ferrers, Devon and had two sons and a daughter.
